Now part of Clarivate Analytics — MarkMonitor is

MarkMonitor itself tipped me off to this fresh brand.

clarivateLast Friday I asked “Who is Clarivate?”

Some firm registered a bunch of domain names through MarkMonitor for this brand.

One thought that didn’t cross my mind was that MarkMonitor was registering the domain names for itself.

As it turns out, Clarivate Analytics is the fresh name for Thomson Reuters’ former Intellectual Property and Science Business, which it sold to private equity firms Onex and Baring Asia.

On Friday I pointed out Onex being included in a couple of the domain names, so perhaps I ought to have connected the dots a bit more.

The firm has continued to register domain names for the business counting many ccTLDs and typos such as Clarevate.com, Clairivate.com and Claryvate.com.
